About this service

Summary

We work together to bring your idea one very large step closer to life, in a way that is cost-effective, maintainable, and extensible - allowing you to get started now, with technologies that don't break the bank and enable you to easily scale and extend your vision with your project's success!

Process

In the first phase, Project Onboarding, we discuss your project and begin to chart out the high-level, 30,000 foot view, details.
Following onboarding, I'll present a few possible software architectural scenarios of how we can breathe life into this project, given the features and goals outlined. This is our time to select a path forward!
Once we've selected a plan, you'll be presented with a more narrow selection of scoping possibilities, given the features and constraints that we've agreed on previously. We'll discuss the pros and cons of each, and evaluate trade-offs of the paths that are proposed.
Finally, with our architecture in place, you will receive a rough outline of how all of the pieces fit together in the application, the various high-level elements of the features and actions. This is a refined view of how you envision the system to operate, put to paper.

What's included

  • Project onboarding recap document (30,000 foot view)

    First, we'll discuss your project and begin to chart out the high-level, 30,000 foot view, details.

  • Initial scope assumptions document (10,000 foot view)

    Following onboarding, we'll take a look at some possible scenarios of how we can breathe life into this project, given the features and goals outlined.

  • Project scope considerations document (5000 foot view)

    Once we've selected a rough plan forward, you'll be presented with a more narrow selection of scoping possibilities, given the features and constraints that we've agreed on previously.

  • Final scope document (1000 foot view)

    You will receive a rough outline of how all of the pieces fit together in the application, the various high-level elements of the features and actions. In addition, we'll have a list of included features, explicitly excluded features, and constraints of the proposed system design.

  • [Optional] Estimated project cost

    A proposed fixed-cost project proposal, for a complete implementation of the MVP scoped out!
